Description

The Ibanez PGM80P is more than just a guitar; it's a statement of rock mastery in your hands. Crafted for the iconic shredder Paul Gilbert, this solid body electric guitar is a reinvention of his legendary signature line. Its double-cutaway RG-based design ensures both comfort and style, while the painted-on F-holes add a unique aesthetic flair. Built with a robust ash body, the PGM80P is engineered for tonal richness and visual allure.

A game-changer in the PGM series, this model introduces a Wilkinson WV6-SB tremolo system, allowing for expressive dives and bends while maintaining tuning stability, thanks to the onboard locking tuners. Whether you're aiming for soaring solos or chunky rhythm parts, the PGM80P delivers with its versatile pickup configuration. Equipped with two DiMarzio PAF Master humbuckers and a single-coil pickup, it offers a balanced tonal palette—vintage warmth and clarity that cuts through any mix.

Paul Gilbert's personal touch doesn't end with the pickups. The PGM neck, designed to his exacting specifications, features a slightly thicker profile for enhanced sustain and tonal depth. Its 5-piece maple and walnut construction ensures durability and resilience on stage and in the studio.

Embrace the rock ethos with the Ibanez PGM80P—a guitar that feels as good as it sounds, embodying the spirit of a true guitar legend.
